The motion Interface panel is means to make mechanical connections for all
encoders and sensors.
It is this motion control board located inside the motion computer that converts
command signals from the programs running. It changes the drive signals generated from
either the flight simulator or roller coaster into directional drive signals for each inverter.
The motion software has a written logic tree that constantly monitors sensors (micro
switches), encoders one for each axis, and program inputs and compares them to safety
rules and parameters to prevent the machine from damage or out of control issues.
You must be careful when connecting to the motion control board and interface
board cabling.
In flight simulator program, the on-board computer sends over to the motion
computer via LAN network the required motion signal as generated by the game and game
controllers. This signal is routed to the motion board, converted to a + or – 10VDC signal,
sent to its respective inverter. The polarity and range of voltage determines the direction
and rate of movement the inverter causes on pitch and/or roll axis.
In the roller coaster program, there is a sub-program that runs with each video which
has degree values assigned for every picture frame. This value is passed over to the motion
program, then to motion control board and eventually to drive an inverter.
Mother Board , controls internal processes, video and audio modules built into the
board. USB ports accept mouse and keyboard commands. LAN ports are used for network
communications between all the computers. Each computer has its own address plan so
LAN traffic can be directed to correct computers.
Power Supply, used to power the functions within the computer and in case of
motion computer it supplies power to the encoders as well as the sensor pull up resistor
circuit that is mounted on the interface board.
1-7B On-Board computer System
Located under the left seat of the cockpit. It runs a Win-7 operating system that controls
all internal/external functions. It contains a high end video card capable of 3-D and HD
signals used for the projector system. The three programs that run on this computer at all
times are:
a. Windows operating system Win-7
b. Flight simulator or roller coaster programs
c. Dispatch control program, this controls routing of motion command signals to
the motion computer via the LAN network.
If any one of the above mentioned programs malfunction, motion stops on the
machine.
Video Card
Has all the codecs to control the video for display via the projector mounted at the top
center rear of cabin. Current projector models are capable of running HD as well as HD 3D
video formats. A second video signal is sent to the HD video transmitter, located in back
